Description

Mobile Controller II Throttle Remote Control Single Handset

ESU Item # 50114

Overview:
Since smart phones with touch screens have almost completely replaced the conventional mobile phone, model train enthusiasts and manufacturers are facing the question how to employ more powerful devices for controlling model trains. As a result of this, many apps have been developed lately which can be uploaded onto your mobile phone and used for running your trains.

This concept however, has one disadvantage, namely that smart phones have not been designed for running model trains. Due to the lack of suitable input elements, the operator is forced to spend most of the time looking at the display. The limits become quickly obvious once the battery of the phone has been discharged and nobody can reach you by phone anymore.

ESU had a look at the question of how to utilize the advantages of current smart phone technology and combine it with the needs of model train enthusiasts.

With the new Mobile Control II you have wireless control of your locomotives, accessories and routes simply by radio control!

Open Platform

The completely new development of the Mobile Control II is based on Android. ESU has created a powerful basis for this open, globally used operating system: The ARM® Cortex® A8 micro processor clocked with 1.3 GHz can access 1 GB RAM and controls a high resolution 3.2 inch TFT colour display. There are 4 GB flash memory for storing apps and data. A capacitive touch screen assures touch-free data entry. For communicating with the “outside world” there is an USB port and a WLAN interface. Thanks to the standardized radio control interface, trouble free operation of your layout can be assured at any time. The range can be extended with WLAN repeaters, if necessary.

The permanently installed, powerful Lithium polymer rechargeable battery will serve you right through the most extensive operating sessions. Recharge the batteries of your Mobile Control II simply by using the USB battery charger of your mobile phone or any other USB port.

Due to the open platform design you may add further apps for the Google Play Store at any time.

Ergonomics & functionality combined

When you hold your Mobile Control II in your hands for the first time you will immediately notice its excellent ergonomics: all data entry elements can easily be reached with one hand, the most important functions you can even reach “without looking”: you may still look at your layout and your trains.

This is due to the central, motorized throttle knob with end stop. With this knob you can delicately control the speed of your trains and change direction.

For activating functions simply touch the pictograms on the display. The display also serves for changing functions – exactly the same way as you know it from your telephone. Finally two buttons each on either side serve for changing direction or triggering the most important functions.

Teamwork

The Mobile Control II is perfectly tuned for the interaction with the ECoS command stations: the ECoS synchronizes all data with the radio controlled throttle. Therefore you do not have to enter any data locally. Of course, the correct names and symbols will also be displayed for accessories and routes.

Running locomotives

The Mobile Control II can control all locomotives registered in the ECoS and supports 14, 28 or 128 speed steps. All important locomotive properties such as name, symbol, function mapping as well as symbols for function buttons will be taken from the ECoS and will be displayed correctly.

You may switch up to 28 functions for each locomotive, which, of course, can either be momentary or continuous functions.

Controlling accessories

All accessories and routes displayed on the control panel of the ECoS can be switched. Of course the differentiation between double, treble and quadruple aspects will remain fully intact and displayed with the correct symbol on the display.

More fun

The high resolution (480 x 800 pixels, 280 dpi), backlit TFT display of the Mobile Control II always keeps you up to date on the most important operating parameters. Furthermore you can see if another operator controls a certain locomotive or if an emergency stop has been triggered.

Clever connections

The Mobile Control II applies the WLAN standard for communicating with the ECoS. Therefore you must connect the command station to a WLAN network. Should you already have a WLAN router (e.g. AVM® FritzBox®) you may simply connect the ECoS to one of these routers. The ECoS and the Mobile Control II will find each other automatically.

It is no problem if you do not wish to connect your model train layout with your home network respectively if you wish to remain flexible for exhibitions: ESU will supply a mini access point for the Mobile Control II on request that can easily be set up in a few steps with the ECoS.

When your layout keeps growing you may operate up to 16 Mobile Control II throttles with your ECoS. Thus, for instance, every member of your club can control exactly those locomotives that have been assigned to her or him.
